School Sports

For the first time since 1991, the Mount Vernon Tiger Baseball team advanced to the Regional Quarter-Final competition.
They faced the Palmer Bulldogs, who were ranked fifth in the State, in a best of three series at Rockwall Heath High School on Friday and Saturday, May 17-18. The series came down to the final inning of game three. See the May 23 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald for details from the games.
